A hand wearing a gold-beaded bracelet and a red garland holds a silver lamp with a burning flame, lit near a tall ornate silver kalasha-style stand. On a white tray at its base sit small bronze deity murtis, white flower petals and a few dark stones or offerings. Green foliage blurs in the background. No person's face is visible.2013-07-15Close-up photograph of a silver deepam oil lamp with an ornate brass-toned crest or handle, its flame burning high and bright over a lipped silver dish holding a wick. Smoke rises from the top of the frame. Silver stand and curved silver handle are visible; a tray of red and yellow flowers sits at the lower left. The blurred background is warm brown. No people are visible; the lamp is an oil lamp used in aarti, and no ritual event is depicted beyond the flame.2018-04-26October 23 20122012-10-23July 15 20132013-07-15Close photograph of a puja setup on a dark cloth with a gold-bordered ribbon.

The ornate silver-toned lamp has a flame burning in its bowl, with a decorative stand of stylised animal and leaf motifs. Blurred orange drapery forms the background, and at the right edge a white statue hand is raised in blessing.
